A research talk with Lynn Nadel on the ecological act of cognition & navigability, particularly related to the #hippocampus. Andrea & Lynn discuss the 'superhero lair' of #McGill in the early years of #neuroscience & follow Lynn to #UCL where he & O'Keefe write their famous book. #hippocampushistory #lynnnadel #johnokeefe #mcgill #ucl

Exploring the profound impact of the art of conversation on forming deep connections. Andrea catches up with Paul Holdengräber, a renowned figure in cultural programming and public conversations. They reflect on Paul's philosophical and geographical journeys, imagining conversations as paths through landscapes, weaving together topics such as the therapeutic power of digression and the complexities of identity and human relationships.

A way-making research conversation w our colleague Andrea Hiott and Tufts biologist Michael Levin. They discuss Levin's own path, how science fiction helped him see beyond dichotomies, scales of cognition, and what it might mean to reorient understandings of life and mind: https://youtube.com/@waymaking23

We invite applications for a certificate study programme at BTU called TeSS (Technology, Science, and Society) which prepares students for the deliberative processes in society towards sustainable science & technology. Learn more at: https://www.b-tu.de/en/fg-technikwissenschaft/tess/tess-btu

These are conversations I’ve been having with scientists, artists, & philosophers to understand how our approach to life and cognition might address some of the urgent divides we face today.
By love and philosophy, I mean the people, passions, and ideas that move us, shape the trajectories of our lives, and co-create our wider social landscapes. In my trajectory in cognitive science & philosophy, I’m working on the philosophy of way-making: https://www.youtube.com/@waymaking23

“Virtually every institution seized upon that term, ‘diversity.’ And I always ask, ‘Well, where is justice here?’ Are you simply going to ask those who have been marginalized or subjugated to come inside of the institution and participate in the same process that led precisely to their marginalization? Diversity and inclusion without substantive change, without radical change, accomplishes nothing.”

– Angela Davis

Could we create vehicles that regenerate their own needs (via topography, wind, rain, sunlight) as they move?

Three keys to continuing to build this platform:
1. Encourage all media outlets to both join and toot here regularly. They're mostly still just feeding the birdsite.
2. Follow as many media outlets and journalists here as possible to show them there's a big, engaged audience.
3. Push media to add Mastodon "share" buttons to all of their articles.

@petergleick wonderful, thank you for this! As someone just joining Mastadon I am finding it wonderful but a little difficult to understand how best to connect

@littletranspunk @elduvelle okay I wish you lots of success and luck! It’s great you’re taking good care of yourself
